the best street of nyc

tha_good_life · 12-22-2010, 08:42 AM

why would they park the cars in the middle of a construction zone? I mean, is all NY streets that bad? If so, damn, that sucks!

mdosu · 12-22-2010, 08:44 AM

Lolz, there isn't many streets that isn't either under construction or broken on some level.

Jeremy smoking butts in the SLS lmao.. that's awesome

Dengel · 12-22-2010, 12:37 PM

that must be terrifying for Jeremy. I drove an SLS recently and you cant see anything over the hood and hes navigating through some major obstacles.

Im bummed i missed this episode already

ideliver · 12-22-2010, 12:47 PM

I am kinda suprised that they didn't put paint some racist comments and then drive through Harlem....(ala NASCAR SUCKS in the deep south episode)

991brothers · 12-22-2010, 03:37 PM

I thought that was hilarious that they parked their

besides, their millionaires, they can take care of it and they dont care.

phusion974 · 12-22-2010, 04:00 PM

Man, I dont feel bad about my roads now.... Geesh.. Talk about not wanting to have nice rims on your car.

Poppin Fresh · 12-22-2010, 06:03 PM

That street was going under re-construction, you can tell by the exposed manhole covers. Not all NYC streets are that bad. I would worry more about traffic and NYC taxi cabs as they can be more dangerous. My friend, driving in his S5 was side swiped on a hit and run with a yellow cab. His car is barely 5 months old.

jordanfox · 12-22-2010, 09:59 PM

that's a cool way to drive SLS...

w00tw00t · 12-22-2010, 10:05 PM

NewYearsBoy · 12-22-2010, 11:23 PM
